Like Excellency or Honourable… But as a professor I receive so many emails starting with odd honorifics (e.g. Dear Sire, My Sire, Sir bbbhltz, My Lord, etc.) due to translation software errors that I can’t be bothered to even care about it anymore haha
Well, my dear Professor Bbbhltz, thank you for sharing the stellar advice 😊 I was all “Yes, people should do that!” before realizing I’ve bought a game for my kids 😅
I goofed and Google’d bbbhltz (is there a German reference hidden in there?) before noticing it was your username, found your Bookwyrm account.
Seems like we have some overlapping reading preferences — can you recommend anything in the sci-fi department that you enjoyed recently? I have a week to read 10 books and reach my 2023 reading goal of 52, and I’m strapped for ideas 🙄
I was a bad reader this year… But some quick sci-fi reads are the Murderbot books (Martha Wells) and the Forward Collection (7 books by 7 authors). An older one is True Names by Vernor Vinge.

Incidentally — does anyone know of a gender-neutral honorific like “Lady” or “Sir”? 🤔
I prefer motherfucker. It’s not failed me yet.
Example: “You’re a fantastic motherfucker, motherfucker”
It’s the motherfucking Catalina Wine Mixer, Motherfucker!
Love it, thanks 😊👌
Probably in the works, but there are some adaptable options here:

Thank you! Read Murderbot, haven’t tried the others, added to list! 😊👌
You probably read the Robot and Monk novellas too?
I have not! Monk & Robot added to the list 😊👌
I use gentlethem in place of “ladies and gentlemen”
“Captain”, “commander”, “ruler”, “your highness”
in the UK they say “the right honorable”
